Introduction and Safety
6 Flygt 5520 Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual

Transportation and Storage
Inspect the delivery
Inspect the package
1. Inspect the package for damaged or missing items upon delivery.
2. Note any damaged or missing items on the receipt and freight bill.
3. File a claim with the shipping company if anything is out of order.
If the product has been picked up at a distributor, make a claim directly to the
distributor.
Inspect the unit
1. Remove packing materials from the product.
Dispose of all packing materials in accordance with local regulations.
2. Inspect the product to determine if any parts have been damaged or are missing.
3. If applicable, unfasten the product by removing any screws, bolts, or straps.
For your personal safety, be careful when you handle nails and straps.

Transportation guidelines
Precautions
WARNING:
• Stay clear of suspended loads.
• Observe accident prevention regulations in force.
Position and fastening
The unit can be transported either horizontally or vertically. Make sure that the unit is
securely fastened during transportation, and cannot roll or fall over.
Lifting
WARNING:
• Crush hazard. The unit and the components can be heavy. Use proper lifting methods
and wear steel-toed shoes at all times.
• Lift and handle the product carefully, using suitable lifting equipment.
• The product must be securely harnessed for lifting and handling. Use eyebolts or lifting
lugs if available.
• Always lift the unit by its lifting handle. Never lift the unit by the motor cable or by the
hose.
• Do not attach sling ropes to shaft ends.
Transportation and Storage
Flygt 5520 Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual 7

Lifting equipment
Lifting equipment is always required when handling the unit. It must fulfill the following
requirements:
•The minimum height (contact Xylem for information) between the lifting hook and the
floor must be sufficient to lift the unit.
• The lifting equipment must be able to hoist the unit straight up and down, preferably
without the need for resetting the lifting hook.
• The lifting equipment must be securely anchored and in good condition.
• The lifting equipment must support weight of the entire assembly and must only be
used by authorized personnel.
• Two sets of lifting equipment must be used to lift the unit for repair work.
• The lifting equipment must be dimensioned to lift the unit with any remaining pumped
media in it.
• The lifting equipment must not be oversized.
NOTICE:
Oversized lifting equipment could cause damage if the unit should stick when being
lifted.
Temperature ranges for transportation, handling and storage
Handling at freezing temperature
At temperatures below freezing, the product and all installation equipment, including the
lifting gear, must be handled with extreme care.
Make sure that the product is warmed up to a temperature above the freezing point before
starting up. Avoid rotating the impeller/propeller by hand at temperatures below the
freezing point. The recommended method to warm the unit up is to submerge it in the
liquid which will be pumped or mixed.
NOTICE:
Never use a naked flame to thaw the unit.
Unit in as-delivered condition
If the unit is still in the condition in which it left the factory - all packing materials are
undisturbed - then the acceptable temperature range during transportation, handling and
storage is: –50°C (–58ºF) to +60°C (+140ºF).
If the unit has been exposed to freezing temperatures, then allow it to reach the ambient
temperature of the sump before operating.
Lifting the unit out of liquid
The unit is normally protected from freezing while operating or immersed in liquid, but the
impeller/propeller and the shaft seal may freeze if the unit is lifted out of the liquid into a
surrounding temperature below freezing.
Units equipped with an internal cooling system are filled with a mixture of water and 30%
glycol. This mixture remains a flowing liquid at temperatures down to –13°C (9°F). Below –
13°C (9°F), the viscosity increases such that the glycol mixture will lose its flow properties.
However, the glycol-water mixture will not solidify completely and thus cannot harm the
product.
Follow these guidelines to avoid freezing damage:
Transportation and Storage
8 Flygt 5520 Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual

1. Empty all pumped liquid, if applicable.
2. Check all liquids used for lubrication or cooling, both oil and water-glycol mixtures, for
the presence of water. Change if needed.
Storage guidelines
Storage location
The product must be stored in a covered and dry location free from heat, dirt, and
vibrations.
NOTICE:
• Protect the product against humidity, heat sources, and mechanical damage.
• Do not place heavy weights on the packed product.
Long-term storage
If the unit is stored more than 6 months, the following apply:
• Before operating the unit after storage, it must be inspected with special attention to
the seals and the cable entry.
• The impeller/propeller must be rotated every other month to prevent the seals from
sticking together.
Transportation and Storage

Product Description
Pump design
The pump is submersible, and driven by an electric motor.
Intended use
The product is intended for moving wastewater, sludge, raw and clean water. Always
follow the limits that are given in Application limits (page 49). If there is a question
regarding the intended use of the equipment, please contact an Xylem representative
before proceeding.
WARNING:
In explosive or flammable environments, only use Ex- or MSHA-approved pumps.
NOTICE:
Do NOT use the pump in highly corrosive liquids.
Spare parts
•Modifications to the unit or installation should only be carried out after consulting with
Xylem.
• Original spare parts and accessories that are authorized by Xylem are essential for
compliance. The use of other parts can invalidate any claims for warranty or
compensation. For more information contact your Xylem representative.

angular contact ball bearing.
10 Shaft The shaft is stainless steel, with an
integrated rotor.
11 Cooling The pump is cooled by the ambient
liquid.
12 Support bearing The bearing consists of a single-row
ball bearing.
Monitoring equipment
The following applies to the monitoring equipment of the pump:
• The stator incorporates three thermal contacts connected in series that activate the
alarm and stops the pump at overtemperature
• The thermal contacts open at 125°C (257°F).
• Ex-approved pumps must have thermal contacts connected to the control panel.
• The sensors must be connected to either the MiniCAS II monitoring equipment or an
equivalent equipment.
• The monitoring equipment must be of a design that makes automatic restart
impossible.
• Information in the junction box shows if the pump is equipped with optional sensors.
Optional sensors
FLS FLS is a miniature float switch for detection of liquid in the stator housing. Due to its
design it is best suited for pumps in a vertical position. The FLS sensor is installed in
the bottom of the stator housing.
Product Description
12 Flygt 5520 Installation, Operation, and Maintenance Manual

CLS CLS is a sensor for detection of water in the oil housing. The sensor initiates an alarm
when the oil contains approximately 35% water. The sensor is installed in the bearing
housing/bearing holder with its sensing part in the oil housing. The CLS sensor is not
applicable to Ex-approved pumps.
NOTICE:
The CLS sensor body is made of glass. Handle the sensor with care.
One CLS and one FLS sensor can be used in the same pump, if they are connected in
parallel.
The data plate
The data plate is a metal label located on the main body of the products. The data plate
lists key product specifications. Specially approved products also have an approval plate.
